My sweet sister-in-law and brother-in-law! So grateful the Lord protected them from further harm. 🙏🏻❤️
great job and glad all were ok, new coach shopping for them.... 🤠
Beautiful landing and rescue.
Thank you the job went off with no problems. Super smooth.
Nice job! If I were the owner, I would pray that they would total this rig. I can’t imagine getting it back to where you can rely on it.
The RV was totaled. it is sitting in my yard waiting for the auction company to come pick it up.
@@bylandorseaconstruction Wow, sad to hear since it wasn't their fault. Act of nature. Do u know if they were able to get it replaced by the dealer warranty/insurance?
It had to be a terrifying experience
Wow it’s a wonder nothing blew up. Certainly you had angels looking after you
Can you imagine driving this and it blowing over?
Excellent job! I usually see the rig bounce when they’re uprighted. And your wife rocks!
Yes, she does. We try to do it as smooth as possible.
YEARS AGO,
I was camping in the Mojave desert & a bad ass wind storm came up. The winds got stronger & stronger then
we started to feel our coach shudder. More & more. SO, I repositioned the coach pointing it into the wind. I hated
to because I was afraid some debris would crack my windshield. Well, we had a fitful night worrying the coach
would blow over, but, it did not. The windshield was fine in the morning. Other campers were not so lucky. One
ingenious camper positioned his tow pickup upwind from his 5th wheel to break the wind and that seemed to do
the trick as he too suffered no damage.
REMEMBER:
When Rving, every mile is an adventure.

NICE JOB FROM AN OLD TOWER,YOU ARE BETTER THAN MOST TOWING COMPANYS CONGRATS
Thanks
Touch down! What a beautiful thing! Nice job guys.
Truly amazing! Skills that one will never learn in college. This is why I leave Gulf region end of March because the weather is not friendly, esp to RV living
Actually, one can learn how to do that and more. Not just to vehicles but Buildings, aircraft and any machine. Physics, Applied Physics, Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, 😉
In my business, we lift many different things houses commercial buildings, boats trucks bridges I guess I learned all these skills from the school of hard knocks. I tried to share my skills with the younger guys that work for me. Some of them are just a pair of hands and others really get into the different jobs, and like to learn
@@bylandorseaconstruction Being a bit disingenuous if yr saying all y do is "lift thing" lol There is a lot of math and engineering and physics that goes into doing what yll do. Anyone can learn it in school and hands on but can't escape math, engineering and physics. ;)
I hold three different licenses through the state of Louisiana have construction, building construction, pilings, docs, war, and terminal buildings, they don’t just give these away each one has a pretty sizable exam. You have to know lots of math. Have a high level of understanding of engineering. And a whole bunch of common sense. I am often responsible for human life. When I take human beings such as my employees on the fastest boat in Louisiana on a job site when we are lifting a 400,000 2,000,000 pound Structure. There is a huge amount of math and engineering and common sense. I feel as though I have a PhD in these areas. I work very closely with engineers.
@@bylandorseaconstruction So like I said, it's more than just "lift many different things" and "school of hard knocks." Thanks for proving my point. 😉
Oof… I don’t wanna know how this affected the gray and black tanks 💨
If we ever have an issue like this, I hope we have folks like these around to help us.
Good job
thankful to see they survived that 🙏🏼
Wow!
Great job guys
Always good to have help from when ya need it
I agree completely
Awesome job! Wow
God Bless You. ❤
bless you all
Great job 👏
Thank you! 😃
Nicely done recovery. Too bad it's just to tow it to the junkyard cuz I'm betting that rig is totaled. Jacks bent, all the slide outs destroyed, all the cabinets & drawers messed up, etc.and the body attachments all messed up as well.
Great job on flipping it, didn't smash on the other side as I thought.
The camper was pretty rough. The slides were pretty much destroyed even the one on the upside the tracks were all destroyed. The weight of it broke the tracks. The washer and dryer came loose. The refrigerator came loose. Microwave flew out. The range. Top broke the sides of the camper were pretty crushed just from the weight of itself a couple of doors on the bottom were broken, but it did start and run we couldn’t get it to go into gear. I assume it was a sensor from the slides or the step that wouldn’t allow it to go into gear so we toad it
wow that was cool , Great job,
SWEET!
Those storms we had down here in Louisiana the last 2 weeks have been unusual that's for sure!
Our 37' RV was overturned in a tornado on Dec 10, 2021. The wrecker service that uprighted it didn't have the two excavators to help so it didn't have the smooth landing. What wasn't damaged when it overturned certainly was when it was uprighted. It was definitely totaled!
maybe you should've of given Beth and Chip the mic,so we could hear what they were saying.But great job!
Great job.
Thanks!
Thanks
Top rescue.
I saw that the white, Ford, Class C next to the diesel pusher was also torn up in the front.
The sea was completely tipped over on its side. The fire department ripped the front off it to gain access the people in it. We’re pretty badly injured. The woman was in critical condition for a little while, not a good scene.
Amazing job
Thanks!
Yall did good.Years ago in the Beaumont Winnie Texas area of I10...they were uprighting tankers with airbags. But yall landed that unit real nice!
Thank you we take pride in our work
Nice practice. Curious what was the bill for something like this run? Number of people and equipment makes me want to say 5K so maybe its a lot more. Unfortunately the outside looks really bad and the front nose has separated, the slide is messed up and who knows what else. Probably a lot more to fix it. Seems like some of these RV parks need to start making some anchor points so these really expensive RVs can be secured when the park.
Whatever the cost was 100x less than a roadside job. There was no travel time or mileage involved.
The entire body of our RV is fiberglass, anchor points wouldn't help.
Good job🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸☦️
Sucks that this happened but it gives everyone a chance to see the cheap construction and terrible welds.
Amazing fellows! Can that rig be salvaged or is it totaled beyond repair? Was it covered under their insurance? Hope so, act of nature.
bravo et merci a eux
Very nice let down.
The job went extremely smooth. There were no hiccups.
I stayed there in October 2023.
New Orleans RV Resort and Marina.
I built and designed the Rv Park. We sold it about three years ago, but my office and shop are still on the property. I am trying to work the details out on another property to build an RV park south of New Orleans keep watching the channel and you will see how it goes.
Wow I remember when that happened
Did they get it fixed????
BECAUSE of the easy of access, I would have run my straps over the top of the chassis.
BUT, youre the experts.
!
The sides of the RV were super flimsy. We tried not to do any more damage than necessary. That is why we rigged it the way we did.
As a fellow RVer here in Texas we also got hit with this horrible weather. Fortunately for us the winds weren't as bad where we are compared to those along the Gulf. So sad for these folks that this happened. i do pray that this rig is "totaled" and as others opined, this rig just cannot be trusted any longer.
Their rig was totaled. The people were super super nice under the circumstances thought they were doing well. She had fractured her hip. I think they’ll get another rig at some point and continue traveling.

That’s strange, was the only one blowen over in this rv park ? At the beginning I thought this happened on the highway. Sorry for these folks, thankfully nobody hurt. Hopefully their insurance helps them out. Sure it’s totaled.
There were three RVs severely damaged destroyed totaled. They were all in the same little group. No one is sure but I think it was a tornado microburst something along those lines because the damage was so localized. It’s a 200 site RV park and they were only three RVs destroyed.
👍🏻🇺🇲
If we are in our rig and facing a potential storm and can’t leave, do you think closing in the slides would be best? Hopefully, we would be in some other kind of shelter ourselves but to prevent as much damage on the rig as possible, I’m curious what the suggestion is.
We basically travel thru tornado alley during tornado season. We aren’t retired. We visit family while our kids are not in school and family happens to live all along tornado alley
Most definitely close the slides raise the jacks let air out of the suspension
@@bylandorseaconstruction
Oh the air suspension! Great to know! Thank you so much
I won’t be able to raise the jacks… we have a luxe48fb fifth wheel. If my husband isn’t there, I’m not certain I could attach it to the truck.
Any other suggestions are appreciated tho
And take in your awnings! Great sails to lift your RV with wind. It doesn’t take much. And nose into the wind.
looks lke the insurance just bought another dp
Yes, it was totaled and we are presently waiting for the in Au Company to come pick it up
I'm curious how it flipped, others in the park didn't? We all the slides extended or retracted? Were the stabilizers fully down?
The stabilizers were fully extended. I think it was some sort of isolated tornado. There were three other campers in the immediate area that were damaged extremely bad and flipped over as well. The other adjacent campers were very small and light in comparison the rest of the park went unscathed
why did the firefighters break the windshield if I crawled out and they broke the windscreen I'd be pissed. there's an exit window on each side of the RV you don't need to break out a windshield. when I was a firefighter someone was going to break out a big huge window before they checked to see if the doorknob was open and unlocked and it was.
I understand where you're coming from. However, in this instance, i don't think it mattered. That class A is toast, with or without a windshield.
I guess it is the fire departments protocol to smash and break when trying to gain entry
Looks totaled to me.
It was totaled by the insurance company. It is stored at my yard waiting for the auction company to come pick it up.
No way that diesel pusher was rolled by an 80mph wind, even at a 90 degree angle, it wouldn't do that. Must have been over 100mph.
I personally think it was a tornado there were three RVs in a small group rolled over some sort of microburst. The rest of the Rv Park with 200 sites was pretty much unscathed.
@@bylandorseaconstruction Yeah a microburst or tornado would make sense. But 80mph wind doesn't have enough force to roll a diesel pusher like that, even at empty weight. A small travel trailer - yes.
What the rv drivable
Hey sweetheart how many more payments do we have on this
They didn’t need to be that careful righting the RV because it is very likely totaled.
The RV was totaled we tried not to do any more damage than necessary. We try to handle our clients property with respect and kid gloves.
